I feel so proud of myself! The last time that I tried to vector my lettering it took me 2 weeks and even though I re-did this sketch I completed the entire process in 2 days! I never thought I would be able to finish that fast. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Martina and Elías!

WHY DIGITIZING WITH VECTORS?
Although there’s tons of digital tools out there to create digital lettering, using vectors can oftentimes be the way to go. Here’s why:
☞ Vectors allow you to take 100% control over your curves.
☞ You can decide exactly the shape of your letterform.
☞ When scaled, pixels loose resolution, hence the word "pixelated”. Vectors can be scaled infinitely.
☞ In some projects clients will demand a vector file from you.
☞ Vector drawings are easier to edit than a hand-drawing lettering piece.
☞ You can apply effects automatically.
